Do we understand the $\hat{I}\cdot N$ interaction from the near threshold $\hat{I}\cdot$ photoproduction on the deuteron?

Abstract

The effects of final state interaction in incoherent $\hat{I}\cdot$ photoproduction on deuteron are studied within a three-body approach including a realistic $NN$ potential. The results are compared with available data, and differences with other theoretical predictions are analyzed. The role of the $\hat{I}\cdot N$ interaction and the possibility of extracting the $\hat{I}\cdot N$ scattering parameters from this reaction are discussed.
